Holiday Plaid Dress

I have so much spirit that I made me a lil plaid dress. This is a cake walk McCallspattern and it is “sew” easy. Of course I had to complicate things by using plaid and my sew sisters know about matching plaid patterns. 🙁 Ugh…that was a real downer but the dress was worth the effort. What I love the most is the square neckline which leaves a lot of real estate for my pearls. It satisfies the corporate dress code and its a wee bit mysterious. I did not make it a bodycon but left enough room for a nice drape without showing my ummmm assets. I think I did a nice job…and even managed to grab a few pics on my way out to door to work.

I snapped up the fabric at JoAnn’s in October and had intended to make a pair of slacks but I decided on the dress. I also found the cute butterfly zipper pull at JoAnn’s as well. I felt pretty good when a lady at work told me I looked festive. That’s exactly what I was going for. Now all I need to complete the look it a camel colored coat. That’s coming up soon. In the spirit of fun and games….I added a little outtake. I have absolutely no idea what I was doing here.

Not all pics are good but some are just hella funny. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Give it a try Stephanie. Go with a large plaid pattern like I used. It’s easier to match the fabric pattern so that everything lines up.
